Fred
I got to find Paul. I got to do some work.
He withdraws.
Maxie
Looking after him.
Just one of the Happiness boys—he and Pagliacco.
Goldie
With her songs.
Mother song and mother song—why don’t they ever write about their uncle?
Maxie
Thoughtfully.
Suppose I told you I was thinking of doing something about him?
Goldie
What?
Maxie
Suppose I went even further and told you I’d already done it?
Goldie
What are you talking about?
Maxie
I’m talking about a little girl that came in here to see Stevens about a month ago. The one you sent the music to.
Goldie
Oh!
Maxie
She’s the one he ought to be marrying, instead of this whatever-she-is.
